Hello

I am just download the Demo version of FC6.5, issue is when I import vector image (.AI) Size not maintain, mean import one file then 2nd both size not match. (design 1 & 2 in CorelDraw both are same H & W Export both as a .AI In FC6.5 If I import or Drag it both size show mismatch. Please let me know it is bug or I will do wrong.

currently I am using FontLab 6 in that import image are fine as same as original design even node are same but in FC6.5 there is some extra node seen when I import .ai. but If I import image in FL6 it will not import in baseline you need to select & drag to base line but in FC6.5 it will import proper if size issue solve then i will go for FC6.5 because there is more then 40,000 .ai files need to import.

SM

I doubt if this is a bug. See this thread.

The images need to use the same paper size to be imported at the same proportions.

It will probably help if you can zip a few sample AI files, and attach them to the forum.

After importing, all glyphs can be resized and moved using the glyph transform wizard.

Please download & unzip .AI files just drag & drop to FC6.5 & check the size issue.

Specifically the Position option on Glyph Transformer will align designs to the baseline.

Please attach a zip file to the forum.

I was able to open the files in CorelDraw 9, and all seem to be drawn on A4. The images are not all the same size on the page.

If I drag them into FontCreator they are all imported at the same size, so I can confirm the problem.

We will have to wait for Erwin or Leon to tell us what the problem is.

FontCreator makes use of the BoundingBox (e.g. %%BoundingBox:6449 35468 6752 35827) to resize the outlines.

If you can keep those the same in all your .ai documents, then FontCreator should resize them all the same.
